So I decided to take a stab at making my own knife forge... no pun intended. I wanted it to double as a table for my Atlas. I scored a brake drum from a buddy of mine and set out cutting steel to form the "table top" Here is where I am with it now The air fed blower looks like this- it doesn't work I was wondering what you guys think... should I make the air outlet more restricted to allow a tighter stream of air.... the way it is now my compressor runs all the time.
this is my old forge . i use a fan from a rv furnace . its a 12 volt set up , just hook up to a car battery or deep cycle . i use a valve to control the air flow . this works great . this may help you ?
Your forge looks pretty good, @sheepdog! I'm no expert on coal forges, but the brake drum ones I've seen either use a hand crank blower or something like a cheap hair dryer, rather than running your compressor for hours.
